This is the discussions tab for the 3.0 Weapons Patch! Please give me any and all ideas you have for either EM specific weapons or EM-related weapons.

I am currently accepting ideas for Weapons for individual EM's or More generic-ish weapons for all EM's.

What my current plan for weapon releases are:

Generic EM Weapons: Anywhere from 5-10 (this means you have to have an EM to obtain the ability to research these weapons, Gen 1 or Gen 2 EM allowed)
EM Specific Weapons: 1-2 Weapons (Most likely one guys, we're talking 10 weapons if we do one for each EM. Preferably Gen 2 EM as the Generic weps will fill the void for Gen 1)

Limitations of Weapons:

Sorry team, nothing that includes AOE/unique modifiers to ships/planetary bombardment bonuses (maybe this one but I'd really have to play at it). As I am not familiar with this area of the Stellaris areas I can't do anything too fancy like a swarm disease aoe ship converter weapon or anything of the sorts!

What I can modify and include are:

Weapon Damage
Weapon Fire Rate
Weapon Range
Weapon Shield Pen
Weapon Armor Pen
Weapon Acccuracy
Weapon Cost
Weapon Power
Weapon Shield Damage
Weapon Shield Pen
Weapon Minimum Windup (Minimum time to fire)
Weapon Maximum Windup (Maximum Time to fire)
Weapon Cooldown (It is connected to Weapon Windup Times, Although admitedly I am unsure of how it works with them)
Weapon Missile Speed (This is actually simply time before damage is applied, Default missiles are 5 seconds)



Models/GFX - I am not an artist nor do I own any modeling tools, so while all effects will be different than base game, they will only be modified versions of vanilla effects. On that note I can edit the following things:

Size
Color (I believe)
Duration
Speed
Sound Effects (Base Game only gents and ladies)

I am very strongly against making any missile based weapons simply because they are made differently than lasers and projectiles and I don't want to hassle with them. So Unless you have a hell of a cool idea I will not be making any missile-based weapons.

On that note If you guys have Any ideas to offer throw them out! I'd love to get the brain stimulated to get some awesome weapons out!

I also will include as many of the previously mentioned weapons way back when if I can (Edits may be necessary now that I have a better understanding of what I can do and game balance.)
